6 Canadian gay bars that have stood the test of time

By

There are so many reasons to visit Canada, and not just because there is no Republican Party. Many center on the great outdoors, the welcoming political and social climes, and the multiple cuisines to die for. 

But with a vast and diverse LGBTQ population, touring the country must also include taking in some of the longtime classics of queer watering holes, from Montreal‘s infamous strip clubs to the bars that line Toronto‘s gay village to a drag bar in Saskatoon, all featuring the finest specimens of the great North, and we don’t mean the Elk.
